A solar panel system has direct and indirect effects. Some are visible immediately, others appear over time. The Gerard family shares their impressions of the different aspects of living with clean energy produced on their own roof. Some are visible immediately, others appear over time.

Step by step towards your own photovoltaic system
Lisa and Gerard are parents of two children and are delighted to have realized their dream of owning their own home. They were already thinking about installing a photovoltaic system when they started planning their new home. The family loves nature, and Fabian's mother is a biologist and scientific assistant, also responsible for several nature reserves. But when they did their own research and calculations regarding a photovoltaic installation, they were overwhelmed by the financial and bureaucratic costs. After all, they had just taken out a six-figure mortgage.
But they couldn't stop thinking about the idea of having a clean energy source on the roof of their own home. Additionally, daily life as a family of four has many cues that make you more aware of your own consumption of limited resources. A family uses many appliances and devices, most of them daily. It starts with hot showers in the morning, then the washing machine, dishwasher and dryer, not forgetting all the smartphones, tablets, etc. which must be recharged regularly. Every year, new objects consuming additional energy are added to the home.
Intelligent energy management
The intelligent energy management offered by I'M SOLAR, combined with the transparent presentation of data in the I'M SOLAR app, helps Gerard and Lisa better understand how they can optimize their energy consumption.
And factors like the significant reduction in trips to the gas station for their hybrid car are all indications that they made the right decision.
What a photovoltaic system can do for you
Lisa and Gerard have settled into daily life with a photovoltaic system and are delighted with the results. They are happy to have played their own role in the energy revolution, and they have every reason to be: The Gerards' system provides not only clean energy, but also clean heat and mobility.
The system has to produce a lot to cover these needs, but it also saves just as much when you consider that heating alone can account for around 70% of energy costs.
